The formula to calculate the Degree of Saturation is:
\[ \text{Degree of Saturation} = \frac{\text{Volume of Water}}{\text{Volume of Voids}} \]
Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids. Volume of Water is the space that water takes in a container. Volume of Voids is the space captured by voids.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Degree of Saturation} = \frac{2}{6} \approx 0.333333333333333 \]
The Degree of Saturation is approximately 0.333333333333333.
